Mason Henry Rogers

My deep gratitude to God and to Mary Baker Eddy for the great truth she has given to the world through her inspired book, Science and Health, impels me to write this testimony.

For many years I sought spiritual comfort and help through the orthodox churches, with no success. In my extremity a friend lent me his copy of Science and Health. Through the study of this book the truth of spiritual creation and man's relation to God began to dawn upon me. This understanding dispelled the dark clouds of confusion and unbelief lifted my thought to a consciousness of God's everpresent power, and enabled me to see that human ills do not belong to man as God's reflection. Through this uplifted consciousness I have been healed of pneumonia, lumbago, scrotal rupture, and many other ills.

At one time my wife was taken suddenly ill. When her suffering seemed intense, I turned to page 14 of Science and Health and read: "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual,—neither in nor of matter,—and the body will then utter no complaints. If suffering from a belief in sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well;" also the statement: "Entirely separate from the belief and dream of material living, is the Life divine, revealing spiritual understanding and the consciousness of man's dominion over the whole earth. This understanding casts out error and heals the sick, and with it you can speak 'as one having authority.'" Immediately her suffering was quieted, and she fell asleep as peacefully as a child.
